I just landed, and Ian invited me to post something about myself.
I've been a student pilot since August of 2001, and hope this will be the year I solo and get at least an LSP license.
I have a lot of time in C-172s and Citabrias, with a hour in a Grumman Tiger and Grumman Yankee. I also have an hour in a Liberty XL, and have some time in a Glasair Glastar.
I also got to handle the controls of a Grumman Duck while I was working on my A&P license.
I found a Evektor Sportstar at the FBO where I started learning to fly in a Citabria, and hope things will come full circle and I can get my LSP in the Sportstar.
Soon, I hope, afterwards, I plan on building a Zenith CH-650 and drop a Gemini 125 HP diesel engine in it, to give it better range on less fuel, and thus fuel weight. (I'm heavier than the standard FAA pilot, at 217 lbs, so I need a plane with a high full fuel useful load.
CAVU and happy landings, everyone.
